Didemnin B is a cyclic depsipeptide marine natural product with cytotoxicity. Didemnin B binds to eukaryotic elongation factor eEF1A and acts on the 80S ribosomal complex to block protein synthesis. Didemnin B also inhibits RNA and DNA synthesis. Didemnin B can be used in research related to tumors, viral infections, and immunosuppression[1-4].
In vitro, HL-60 cells were treated with 1µM Didemnin B for 1-4 hours. Didemnin B induced apoptosis in HL-60 cells[5]. Human promyelocytic leukemia HL-60 cells were treated with 1µM Didemnin B for 2 hours. Didemnin B caused apoptotic morphology including nuclear condensation, nuclear fragmentation and membrane blebbing, and increased cytoplasmic double-stranded DNA fragment levels[6]. HL-60, Daudi, Namalwa, BL-29, Naliaka, FDC-P1, Molt-4, Jurkat, and MM96 cells were treated with 1µM Didemnin B for 2-12 hours. Didemnin B induced apoptosis in these cell lines[7].
In vivo, B6C3F1 mice were intraperitoneally injected with 320-1280μg/kg Didemnin B. Blood radioactivity peaked at 1 hour and then declined rapidly. Didemnin B persistently accumulated in the pancreas[8]. Leptin-deficient C57BL/6J mice fed an AIN-76A semipurified diet for 4 weeks were intraperitoneally injected with 50μg/kg Didemnin B on days 1, 4, and 7 of week 5. Didemnin B reduced food intake, liver weight and liver triglycerides, and improved fasting glucose, oral glucose tolerance, fasting insulin and insulin tolerance[9]. HRS/J hairless mice with cutaneous herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1) infection on the lumbar skin were topically treated with Didemnin B (1.5μg per application; 3 times daily for 5 consecutive days) at the infection site. Didemnin B reduced mean lesion scores and improved survival curve survival rates[10].

| Cell experiment [1]: | |
|
Cell lines |
HL-60 cells (human promyeloid leukemia cell line) |
|
Preparation Method |
HL-60 cells were maintained in RPMI-1640 supplemented with 10% heat-inactivated foetal calf serum, 100U/mL penicillin, 100μg/mL streptomycin, 1mM sodium pyruvate, 2mM L-glutamine and 5mM HEPES at 37°C, 5% CO2. Cells were treated with 1μM Didemnin B for up to 4 hours. After treatment, apoptotic morphology was assessed by cytospin, ethanol/acetic acid fixation, DAPI nuclear staining and light/UV microscopy counting of ≥400 cells per slide; enucleated HL-60 cytoplasts were prepared by discontinuous Ficoll/cytochalasin B gradient ultracentrifugation and treated with 1μmol/L Didemnin B for 3 hours or 5μM staurosporine for 4 hours, with phase-contrast microscopy for membrane blebbing. |
|
Reaction Conditions |
1μM; 1h to 4h |
|
Applications |
Didemnin B induced nuclear condensation, nuclear fragmentation and membrane blebbing in intact HL-60 cells, and did not induce apoptotic morphology in enucleated HL-60 cytoplasts, while staurosporine induced apoptotic morphology in both intact cells and cytoplasts. |
| Animal experiment [2]: | |
|
Animal models |
5-week-old male leptin-deficient ob/ob mice on C57BL/6J background (and lean C57BL/6J controls) |
|
Preparation Method |
Mice were fed AIN-76A semipurified diet ad libitum for 4 weeks. During week 5, mice received intraperitoneal injections of 50μg/kg Didemnin B (solubilized in 1% DMSO, 5.2% PEG400, 5.2% Tween 80, 88.6% sterile saline) on days 1, 4, and 7. A pair-fed vehicle group matched for food intake was included. On day 8, after a 6h fast, oral glucose tolerance test (1g/kg D-glucose) and insulin tolerance test (0.6IU/kg i.p.) were performed; mice were then sacrificed. Liver weight, epididymal fat weight, liver lipids, H&E and Oil Red O histology (NAFLD activity score), plasma ALT/AST, liver immunoblots (EEF1A1, GRP78, p-JNK, JNK, p-eIF2α, eIF2α, albumin, actin), qPCR for Xbp1s/Mcp1/Tnfa/Fgf21/Ldlr/Bsep/Apoa1 etc., FPLC plasma lipoprotein profile, and pancreatic insulin IHC were assessed. |
|
Dosage form |
50μg/kg; i.p.; 3 injections on days 1, 4, 7 of week 5 |
|
Applications |
Didemnin B reduced food intake, reduced liver weight, reduced liver triglyceride, reduced Oil Red O lipid droplets, reduced lobular inflammation score and total NAFLD activity score, reduced plasma ALT and AST, reduced hepatic GRP78 protein and p-JNK, downregulated hepatic Xbp1s, Mcp1 and Tnfa mRNA, normalized plasma triglyceride, total cholesterol and LDL cholesterol, restored VLDL-triglyceride and LDL-cholesterol FPLC peaks, improved oral glucose tolerance and insulin tolerance and fasting glucose/insulin to lean levels, and did not alter pancreatic islet area or size distribution versus ob/ob vehicle. |
